Region 4 Winners and Losers

    The Region 4 seems to be a direct port of the UK Region 2 release. A review of that release indicates the same video and audio problems.

    The US Region 1 comes from Kino and includes basically the same extras as the Region 4, with the addition of something called The American Film Theater Scrapbook, which seems to be an on-disc extra, not a booklet. I have not been able to find any reviews of the Region 1, so I can't tell whether the same transfer problems exist. However, given that the extracts in the interview material have the same problems, and the interviews are also included on the Region 1, I would conclude that the Region 1 is no better than the Region 4. The 14 Region 1 releases of the film collection are available in three box sets or separately.
